Awesome New Releases from Action

Action Womens Clawed Top - Blood & Juice

Action Womens Tutuloo Skirt - Birdie & Razzle

Action Womens Denim Jacket - Classic

Yay! I have been patiently waiting for designer MarilynMonroe Munro to finally release some new clothes for women.I have always been a HUGE fan of her designs, so I can't tell you how excited I was to check-out her new releases when I received them. Thank you MarilynMonroe! And, as usual, Marilyn did not fail to create high quality pieces and excellent prim work. I just love her beautifully rendered and hand drawn designs on her 'Clawed Top'.It is definitely a new favorite of mine. I am also in LOVE with her sassy and short 'Tutuloo Skirt' The yummy colors mixed with incredible detailing is to die for. Marilyn's adept prim-work on the skirt goes with saying.... She never ceases to impress to me. The denim jacket in last picture is also another piece that deserves notable attention. Although this jacket is made up of quite a few attachments, they all flow seamlessly and have an easy to use resize script, which can easily be deleted, for a perfect fit. So, if you haven't been down to Action yet, you simply must get your butt down there to check our MarilynMonroe's new designs and her newly renovated sim.

Pic 5: **TKO** Kelly Waistcoat - Red, Nia Jeans - Black  &  Kelly Waistcoat - Teal, Nia Jeans - Pink

**TKO** is still a fairly new name for me, but from the bits I have seen in past few weeks, I have really taken a liking to their clothes. Kirsty Oherlihy, the fabulous designer behind **TKO** was generous enough to drop me of a few review copies of her latest releases. Thank you, Kirsty! Let me just say, I was definitely pleased with what I saw and wore. Kirsty's designs are super cute and really sexy. This mix may sound like a contradiction, but Kirsty knows how to pull it off. One example of this would be the 'retro tubes', which come adorned with cartoon characters from my youth, like the "Care Bears" and "Power Puff Girls". You have got to love that!
Then Kirsty takes things up a notch with her uber hawt 'Roxy Dress'. The simple lines and wild zebra print, make this an excellent choice for night out on the town. I also must mention that Kirsty's skirt prims are superb. I did not have to do any editing at all, which is definitely rare for me.
In the third picture, I am sporting Kirsty's 'Mandy' top. I really adore this piece. I love the gorgeous floral print and carefully hand drawl wrinkles and gathers in the fabric. Added touches like this, give Kirsty's designs that extra element of realism that I am always seeking.
In the forth picture, I am wearing the 'Becca' top. This is top is a bit more daring and I like it! It shows just the right amount skin with out being too flashy. It fits my body perfectly and shows off my curves in the just the right way. Kirsty definitely knows what works on the female form.
In the last picture, I am donning the 'Kelly Waistcoast' and 'Nia' jeans. These are two of my favorite pieces. I love the adeptly placed seams on the jeans and vest. The artfully sculpted flared cuffs blend perfectly with the rest of the pant. There are no awkward "connections". The jeans have a slightly relaxed fit, but are cut low enough to add a bit spice to this already amazing design. The vest is expertly rendered and, once again, shows off my curves to a "T". So, let me stop my rambling, while you go down to **TKO** and check-out Kirsty's designs for yourself. The limo is waiting: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kodiak%20Island/155/145/23

LOTD - July 6th, 2010

I decided to do another LOTD, since most of favorite outfits are result of inventory sorting. I finally had some time to go through the many pieces I aquired over the weekend and try them on.

New from TRUTH!

Lila (left): TRUTH - Iris-Driftwood

Kierra (right): TRUTH - Iris-Treacle
Kierra (left): TRUTH - Rayne Streaked-Blood

Lila (right): TRUTH - Rayne Streaked-Champagne
Lila (left): TRUTH - Lucille Streaked-Espresso

Kierra (right): TRUTH - Lucille-Cocoa

Just when I think Truth Hawks created every possible style imaginable, he turns around and gives us even more! This week's new releases follow suit of all his recent creations, by mixing a bit of the old with the new. Retro style is very obviously very big at the moment and spans quite a few very different eras as well. In the the first picture, Truth brings back a bit of that bohemian feel with "Iris". This loosely braided hair style is wrapped with the same signature leather and beads (that I loved so much) from Truth's "BoHo" style a couple of weeks ago. And to top that off, the leather and beads have 21 different texture options! You can also choose not wear this option at all.

In the second picture, Kierra and I decided to be a little less country and a bit more rock n' roll with "Rayne". "Rayne" definitely has a bit of that mid 80s "hair band groupie" feel to it. However, Truth manages to glam it up and give it a hot modern look. I just love the razor cut layers that give it a full and whispy texture. Like so many of TRUTH's latest designs, this comes in a myriad of solid colors and their streaked counterparts. As one can clearly see, Kierra and I opted to wear the streaked version, because we got it like that! *LOL* I'm just kidding.... Well, kind off.... *LOL*

In the 3rd and last picture, which is definitely least for obvious reasons, Kierra and I are wearing "Lucille". No, we are not wearing B.B.King's beloved black Gibson guitars, but Truth's awesome new retro 50's style. This particular piece is definitely very reminiscent of Betty Page's trademark hairdo. Btw, we know we look a bit like clowns in this picture. It was a good idea that went terribly wrong, but Truth's hair, and not to mention Kierra's editing skills, was the redeeming factor that made this even remotely postable.

So, stop staring at our weird skin and tp your butt on down to TRUTH! I sent a limo:

I LOVE *COCO*

Picture 1: *COCO* - OneShoulderPolkaDotsDress

Picture 2: *COCO* - BubbleSkirt-Gold

Picture 3: *COCO* - Tank Top-with Sunglasses

*COCO* was my first favorite shop in SL and also my first taste of real fashion in SL. As a "noob", who was fashion obsessed in RL, I was overjoyed to find that SL actually had a lot of talented and incredible designers on the grid. cocoro Lemon was one the first of such designers, whose creations are on  par or even greater than the RL designers who we see on runways at fashion week. I was hooked! I am  also always closely watching to see what she comes up with next!
Recently, I was lucky enough to receive a few of *COCO*'s latest releases and was more than honored to review them. Thank you cocoro! In the first picture, I am wearing the "OneShoulderPolkaDotsDress". The name basically says it all! I just LOVE this little black dress, whose silk-like texture is so carefully wrinkled. The expertly crafted polka dot chiffon prim just brings this ultra chic number to a whole other level I just adore the subtle baring of the neckline.This dress just screams GLAM!
In the second picture, I am wearing cocoro's "BubbleSkirt" in gold.The intricate pleating mixed with hand painted shadows and highlights make this an extraordinary piece thats has a very exotic feel.This particular skirt is the perfect compliment to an formal or casual wardrobe.
In the third and last picture, I am wearing *COCO*'s "TankTop-with Sunglasses". Once again cocoro uses this amazing black silk texture (as seen in pic 1) with skillfully sculpted wrinkles that she places with an adept precision. The plunging asymmetric neckline is to die for! And when you turn around, the back has a fabulously low scoop cut, which accentuates my curves to a "T"! Absolutely YUMMY!
Now I think I have rambled enough, so it's time for you to go see this for yourself. The limo is waiting:

Gin & Tonic or "Djinn & Tonic"

Kierra (Left) Clam Diggers -Lightwash, Summer Henley - Grass
Lila (Right) Clam Diggers - Dark, Summer Henley - Sage

Its been a crazy week for us Demented Divas hence the lack of posts this week. Poor Lila had her sim wrecked :growls: so that took up alot of time to try and fix what some idiot thought would be cool to do. Anyway we are now back on track and have been busy little bees snapping away and shopping our little hearts out. After all that shopping we decided to go chill on the beach wearing the clam diggers and summer henleys from Djinn & Tonic. The detailed pocketing on the pants and the use of textures to create the turn up detail makes these clam diggers a welcome addition to my inventory as I am a huge fan of jeans as Lila will tell you (she wears the pretty dresses Im the pants kinda girl ). The henleys have great texturing to them and show just a subtile amount of cleveage this is a bonus as alot of clothes in SL seem to be all about showing your tic tacs at every possible opportunity. The cute Roxy dress we are showing comes in a sheer and non sheer version, I went for the modest option and let Lila show her sexy flesh in the sheer version :P. With a lovely prim ruffle to the top and skirt this classy little number is a welcome addition to anyone's black dress collection.
So as always heres the Limo for you to pop along to Djinn & Tonic
